College Search & Selection

<p>I've recently been accepted to Loyola Marymount University and Pitzer College, both in California. Money is not an issue, location is not an issue. I am planning to major in business while also getting involved with cinematic arts, and I'm not sure which school to choose.

<p>LMU may give you a better start in film as Claremont is somewhat isolated. However, for all other factors (lifestyle etc.) I would say Pitzer. Have you visited?</p>

<p>Very different lifestyles.
Pitzer is a traditional Liberal Arts College, while the LMU feels more pre professional.
